I've got a gig tonight, which is unusual in the current climate where I live as there's no real demand for blues bands. Hopefully that will start to change once the local crowd hear my stellar harp playing (hoho). Anyway, I've decided to throw a rendition of "My Blues" into the set. I think it's such a great instrumental and you can really dig deep and put loads of feeling into it. We haven't rehearsed it but, being a straight forward slow 12 bar, I'm expecting the band will follow my lead easily enough. Credit will be given to David, of course, so wish me luck and I'll report back post gig and let you all know how it went.

went well!

The gig went really well last night. It was one of those nights where I got right into the music and played out of my skin! "My Blues" went down a storm and I really milked the opening 1, 3 and 2 draw notes on their respective choruses. I felt like a top drawer pro like never before and the crowd reaction was awesome! Definitely one to recommend to anybody for a jam session as it's easy for the band to follow and the tempo gives you plenty of time to "think as you play" with confidence. I'm still on a high from it!

The only downside is that I asked my mate to record it on his Iphone but he was that absorbed he forgot! gutted!
